Got my permanently disabled Facebook account restored after initial no apeal and no reason perma ban
I wanted to share my experience in case it helps anyone going through the same nightmare.
My Facebook account (16+ years old) was suddenly suspended and then permanently disabled. I received a suspension notice with an appeal option, but within ~20 seconds I got another message saying the appeal was already reviewed and the account was permanently disabled. I never had a real chance to respond.
At first, Meta support was completely useless — I only got copy-paste responses saying there was no appeal, no explanation, and no further recourse except “legal action.”
What I did next:
- I created a Meta account with a verified profile so I could access enhanced support. On real human support, initially, several requests were also copy paste "we are sorry, we cannot give you the reason and feel free to sue Meta Group"
- I downloaded my Facebook “Your Information” package.
- I checked the login/session and IP logs.
That’s where things got suspicious:
- Logins from countries I’ve never been to (including outside Europe)
- Sessions from multiple locations in a very short timeframe
- Browser/client strings that were NOT normal browsers (showing things like C++/THttpClient-type clients instead of Chrome/Safari/etc.)
At that point, it looked very strongly like my account had been compromised or accessed through automated tools rather than normal user activity.
I submitted all of this evidence through Meta’s enhanced support channel once more and kept insisting on human review.
After several attempts, I finally got a different response path — including a visual verification process — and I was able to regain access to my account.
What I learned:
- Don’t rely only on standard support replies (even from humans, as they’re often automated/copy-paste)
- Always download your full account data package if you’re locked out
- Check login/IP history carefully — it can reveal compromise signs
- Escalation through verified/enhanced support channels can sometimes work when normal support fails
I’m sharing this because I was genuinely going crazy thinking I lost a 16-year-old account with business pages attached. Turns out persistence + digging into logs made the difference.
Hope this helps someone else going through the same thing.
